White Screen During Shut Down

Hi all,
When I try to shut down my system I am presented with a white screen and have to push the power button on my iMac to turn it off. This has only started happening recently as far as I recall.
Any ideas as to what is going on?
Currently running OS 10.8.2.
Thanks,
Bryan

I have had the same problem, and connected it to a problem with Western Digital HD software.  I use an external WD HD for time machine purposes.
I then uninstalled all the HD software, and it now seems everything works fine.  You may try this. Ref this article:

  • My MacBook pro is stuck on white screen after shut down. Now, neither this is turn on nor turn off. I had to do

    My MacBook pro is stuck on white screen after shut down. Now, neither this is turn on nor turn off.

    You should be able to turn off your MBP by pressing the power button down continously for about 5-10 sec. When you reboot it you are going to want to enter into a terminal screen. Hopefully the following YouTube video helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKOX72xNmbo

  • McBook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.4 stuck on the white screen on shut down.

    I would appreciate help on this.
    When choosing to shut down my MacBook Pro it closes everything and then gets stuck on the white screen. Unless I press continuously the on button it just stays there...
    Any ideas what the problem might be?

    Just wanted to add my own insight to this thread. I do have the same issue.
    - I'm using a Macbook Pro 2011
    - I'm using OSX Lion with full disk encryption (That's FileVault I think)
    - I'm using Paralles Desktop Build 7.0.15094
    - I'm using alot of different development USB peripherals (routed to a Windows 7 virtual machine)
    - The installation of the 10.7.4 might not have completed 100% ... it was also stuck ( can't remember if it was re-booting or if progress bar never reached 100% ) for several hours (I basically let computer do whatever it needed to do overnight, I figure it might have to re-encrypt a large (if not all ) part of the disk ) so the next morning I simply shut it off.

  • White screen on shutting down

    I have an i7 iMac and when i shut down the screen goes white with the spinning wheel in the middle and stays there, not completing the shut down procedure.  This remains indefinitely.  I have left it for hours and come back with it still like this.  I then have to press the on/off button on the rear to properly shut down.  I have installed Lion but it happened before this installation. 
    Any ideas?

    Try resetting the PRAM. Shutdown, startup holding down Option-CMD-P-R together at the startup chime, wait for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.

  • N6233 start,PIN code,white screen and shuts down i...

    Hello,
    My N6233 after switching on and entering PIN shows only white screen with battery icon and shuts down automatically after a few seconds. Would it be possible to repair it by upgrading FW by using NSU or some another SW ?
    Thanks,
    Lubo

    Have you tried removing the sim card and memory card then trying to switch it on?
    If it still doesn't work then your only option is to take it to a nokia care point. You cannot use the NSU if the phone cannot boot up properly.
    If it works without the sim and memory card let us know.
    Care points/service centres and repair info:
    UK • Europe • Asia-Pacific • USA •
    Canada • Middle East and Africa
    Elsewhere: Click here, select your country, go to the support section, then select repair.

  • IMac white screen at shut down?

    Tried to turn off my iMac and I just get the white screen forever until I force shut down. Firefox freezes often, as does the Finder. This started randomly. Mavericks is not downloaded. Hard drive is only half full, performed a scan and hard drive is okay. No issues on start up. Problem seems to be worse after using the computer for longer periods of time. Computer just turned two years old. All other updates besides Mavericks performed. Thoughts on what the problem could be? Thanks!

    Just an added not--I attempted to download Mavericks to update my software and I also tried to download the newest version of Flash and neither will install after downloading.

  • Dark Screen During Shut Down

    After installing Maverick on my 11" macbook air I notiice when I go to shut down my mac... I used to hit the power button to shut down
    now the screen goes black..can't use that option...whats up with that?

    I think now Maverick assigned the power button to Sleep mode...
    I want the older option to select Shutdown, Sleep or Restart when I press the power button. Any way to re-assign it?

  • Screen unpredictably shutting down during phone calls.

    Anyone understand the logic behind when the screen shuts off during a phone call.
    I'm using the keypad a fair bit and sometimes the screen will shut down during a call, hiding the keypad. I can shake it and it will come on again but then sometimes it goes away.
    Sometimes it just stays up the entire call.
    Sometimes it shuts off during the call.
    If it shuts off during a call I can shake it to get the screen to come on.
    Sometimes it just stays up for the rest of the call.
    Sometimes its shuts off again.
    If it shutss off during a call I can shake it to get the screen to come on.
    Repeat...
    Quite frustrating. How do I get it to stay up?
    Can I?

    My iPhone does the same thing. When I make or receive a call the screen seems to do the opposite of what it should do. When I put the phone to my ear the screen activates, when I pull it away the screen locks. This causes me to press the touch screen when talking on the phone, buttons like mute and keypad.. highly frustrating. Also when I try to hang up, the screen locks preventing me to end the call.. have left numerous unintented voicemails due to this.
    I have tried adjusting the auto-lock setting but this does not help and is up-to-date. Any ideas?

  • Older Version MacBook White Screen During Use

    My MacBook (early 2009) keeps getting a white screen during use for anywhere from 15-90 seconds. Is this normal? What can I do to fix it? Or is the computer just too old and I should get a new one?

    I have 24 inch iMac and I get either an almost black screen/white screen or sometimes a green and white vertical pinstriped screen. This happens suddenly with no warning & I have to hold the start button in to shut down. It then starts up fine with apparently no harm done. It is very annoying but I need to know why my Apple is doing this. Computer is around 2-3 years old and now running 10.6.8. I had to buy this as when I inherited the machine know one knew where the OS software was.
    Does anyone rate Genius bar - can they determine what the prob is? I took a G5 tower in as it wouldn't start but they were unable to help - local PC shop sorted it charging me £100 - realised later it needed a new battery (£7) so you can't rely on anyone out there I'm afraid!
    I will need a new iMac 27 inch anytime soon but am loath to give anyone currently selling machines the money!

  • My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down.

    My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down.  I cannot restart it.  A soft restart did not work.  I tried connecting to iTunes on the PC but it did not detect the device

    Did you try resetting the iPad?
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears- let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't do anything, try this for the issue with iTunes not seeing the iPad.

    If that doesn't help, restore your iPad using iTunes or iCloud >  iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Shut off screen without shutting down accelerometer in Touch

    Due to Apple firmware limitations in the 2G iPod Touch, it is not possible to shut down the Touch screen and keep the accelerometer running, so running the Sleep Cycle application on the iPod Touch causes the screen to stay on all night and become very warm
    Apple please please could you change the Touch firmware to support shutting off the screen without shutting down the accelerometer so that Sleep Cycle can be run on the Touch like it now runs on the 3G and 3GS iPhone.
    This would open this excellent little application to the whole Touch market segment, making the developers very happy and allowing me to get up in the morning.

  • Database doesn't shutdown during shutting down the server

    Dear Friends ,
    I have to use the following dcript to use Auto startup and shutdown my Oracle Database in RHEL 4 .
    step 1:
    #!/bin/bash
    # chkconfig: 345 99 10
    # description: Oracle auto start-stop script.
    # Set ORACLE_HOME to be equivalent to the $ORACLE_HOME
    # from which you wish to execute dbstart and dbshut;
    # Set ORACLE_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
    # Oracle database in ORACLE_HOME.
    ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
    ORACLE_OWNER=oracle
    if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
    then
    echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
    exit
    fi
    case "$1" in
    'start')
    # Start the Oracle databases:
    # The following command assumes that the oracle login
    # will not prompt the user for any values
    su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start"
    su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart
    'stop')
    # Stop the Oracle databases:
    # The following command assumes that the oracle login
    # will not prompt the user for any values
    su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut
    su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
    esac
    step 2:
    cat /etc/inittab
    *:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:N
    orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y
    step 3:
    Keep "dbora" in following path :
    /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/dbora
    /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/dbora
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora
    And also ,
    chmod 750 /etc/init.d/dbora
    chkconfig --level 345 dbora on
    Now ,The script works fine and ORacle Database and Listener service starts automatically during startup the server .But during shutdown the server, I cannot understand or can't recognize that the Oracle Database & listener service are shutdown auto . I think it does not work properly..... So i need to know that Oracle Database & listener service are stop automatically during shutting down the server . Using the above scripts , How can I do it ? Is there any wrong then plz advice me .......Thx ...

    step 3:
    Keep "dbora" in following path :
    /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/dbora
    /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/dbora
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora
    And also ,
    chmod 750 /etc/init.d/dbora
    chkconfig --level 345 dbora on
    Check following links are there
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K01dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K01dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
    Script/link start with "K" , is responsible for shutdown database.

  • My screen just shut down and it wont turn on

    My screen just shut down & wont turn back on What can i do?

    What happens if you try a hard reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  You may need to attempt this more than once. 
    Otherwise, connect it to an external power source and leave it to charge for a little while and then try a reset again if necessary.
